Cannot install utorrent

[donnyb]

When I try, it gets to the last screen and I hit "Install" and nothing happens. I have tried with the current stable version and the beta RC version with the same thing. I also tried turning off Avira AV both times and it still just sits there. Anybody have any ideas?
Forgot to say that I am using Win7-64.

What exactly do you mean by "nothing happens"? Does it freeze? Does it exit with no result?

Are there any temporary data/folders that were created and left behind?

We need to know exactly in what state your computer is after you click "Install" to really debug this.

Try using a different browser and don't use any download managers when you download Utorrent.

I can run BitTorrent on my win7 x64

 

[sup3rsprt]

apparently uTorrent is some fork of BitTorrent because they look identical?

 

[donnyb]

By "nothing happens", I mean the last screen is still there. I can hit Install again and it is as if nothing happens. The install button changes color (like it's supposed to), but then nothing more happens. I checked for temp files, but do not find any.

I guess I just ditched utorrent for Bittorrent, as the Bittorrent client works just fine and is almost identical to utorrent.

I had the same problem I hit install and the window freezes but a shortcut is created on the desktop and the app woks fine. I just closed the installation window.

Glad I could give you a helpful alternative that works.

I installed uTorrent on my Windows 7 64, and I have no problem with it.

Had the same issue....

Seems to be the way uTorrent installs seperately for each user account you have rather than once globally
like most other programs
I got around the problem by choosing a different installation path for each user account

eg. \Program Files (x86)\uTorrent#2\

After doing this the installation would continue to the end as normal without 'freezing'

I have the exact same problem! I recently got me a new computer and tried to install Vuze. That didn't work, I got an Error 7 when i tried installing it. So I tried with Uttorent instead, but as it says above "nothing happened" when I pressed the installbutton. I then tried Bittorrent with the same result.

Anyone found out what's wrong? Thanks!

I downloaded utorrent to check a theory out, it turned out as expected. It seems that the program asks for admin access at the final page (install button has the UAC shield icon, see attachment.) Rather than asking at the start for admin access like most other programs do.

You could have a issue with your UAC settings.

Remember donny, some trackers do not support bittorrent so it would be great to get utorrent working. Like previously suggested try downloading from a different browser and run the setup as admin!

 

[Orbital Shark]

The browser used should not make a difference as i've downloaded in IE, FF and GC just using the 'run' box rather than saving it to the 'Downloads' folder.

As stated above, try downloading the file then, once finished, right-click and select 'Run as administrator' and see if that helps.

Now it's working! It was as Tumult said. I had turned off the UAC-messages. When I turned it on I got a message, clicked OK and the the install began. Thanks!
